Informative video for someone considering mods. Also one of the nicest HO tracks I've seen on KZread.

Awesome track and cars. That lexan bodied car at the end is insane!!

Good info Terry Thank you ..

Excellent video as always Terry. Thanks for sporting a DG Designs controller skin on your controller. 😉

Was the track home built looks fantastic..

Good video I got about the same results with my cars as well.

My old Tjet is still on the first lap on that track.....

Thanks for sharing,like the way you curtain Lyft? On camera..ha.. I think I invented a new term..

NICE

Great video Terry. I just found you channel and subscribed and hit the bell. BTW is the Life Like M car the same as my Rokar M cars ?

@@riggenracer Thanks for the info. I thought LL purchased Rokar but I wanted another opinion. For some reason I really like those M cars. 😎👍

Did u change any motors? Seems like u just hopped up magnets and tire! Great video!

A track as small as mine, these upgrades are all I need. What lap timing light is that?

What is your track made of and what did you use for power rails

I like your Godzilla !

Viper vs BSRT, since you have so much knowledge of these wonderful 1/64th scale cars. I'm trying to figure out what to buy. My son has quite a few impressive cars and no real ideas about what they are! I have an old Magnum 440-X2 running factory Cobalt traction magnets that I bought around 1993'ish, I have sanded the front tires and the rear tires. This car holds its own, but I have not yet ran it against Jr's fastest Neo car yet. What would you consider top of the line in the 1/64th scale cars? Or should I build up a car??? I know these are loaded questions! And there are many different types of answers, but an in general round about sort of answer. Or even a little heads up.

That is not a yes or no sort of easy answer. Best to call me and talk.

I am working on an mdf 4 lane h o track.

Viper level 4. Brings a song to mind....Kyle Petty son of Richard by Soundgarden.

I can't find any video on this track set . Who makes it , where can it be bought ? I've looked thru your video's and didn't see one of you setting this track up . Help please .

It is a custom made track from Brad Bowman. It is not a kit track and they are not cheap.

Thanks for the reply . I found my group of cars after 40 years and thought it would be fun .

The manufacturer of the track? Looks awesome. Who it it as far a maintenance? Looks awesome!!!! Power source and type of connectors for the controllers? Thanks for the info!!!!! Sincerely, Rocco P.

Brad Bowman track.

how much difference do traction magnets do when the track is copper and wood??

Nothing to attract the magnets so it's essentially like putting bags of sand in the trunk of a car. Dead weight. Whether it helps or not would depend on the tires and how slippery the track surface is. The weight would probably help with sticky tires on slippery track.

Do you build fast Tomy SRT chassis to sell.

What brand track is that?

Any chance of a Mega G+ hanging with a Viper, after enough modified parts are added?

No real chance of that. Even if it could, it would be a waste of money. Just get the Viper to start with.

Some of the Tomy/AFX bodies look a lot like real F1 cars, although the car at 20:02 might not be an AFX it looks like a Marlboro McLaren from the 90s.

May I ask what your Volts and Amps are for this test?

@riggenracer

2 жыл бұрын

18 volts. Amps is whatever the cars draw. Amps is not really a controllable thing. The car draws the current, the current is not pushed into the car.

What voltage are you running the track with?

How many Amps?

@@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT Current draw is a function of the voltage and the resistance of the car (armature). Remember Ohm's Law. V=IR, R=V/I, and the one that you want, I=V/R. He said he's running at 18V and I think he said he was running a 6 ohm arm in the last car (the Viper V-Spec). If I=V/R then that would be 18/6 = 3 Amps. Of course, that's not 3 Amps constant but 3 Amps peak. This is just a guess but I'd estimate that car pulls an average of around 1.5 to 2 Amps.

do any slot cars replicate the progressive acceleration of a real engine I want to get my son a set but no way he could handle a car that does 0-350mph in a sec scaled speed.... He has a disability see he couldn't react to them speeds.

Thanks for the question. With your son's situation, I can't think of a quick solution. However, adjusting voltage down on any car reduces possible top speed. If you have a power supply that can adjust voltage, you can turn the volts down to where any car is easy to run.
